b) a refundable tenancy deposit capped at no more than five weeks' rent. This will be held in a Deposit Scheme as security for the performance of all obligations in connection with the tenancy for example in the case of any damage at the end of the tenancy or a charge to an independent company providing a deposit alternative service, if offered.

c) A refundable holding deposit (to reserve a property) capped at no more than one week's rent. Example - equivalent to One Weeks Rent - i.e. £1,000.00 p.c.m rent equates to £230.76 holding deposit).
